Music reviews of The Young Domingo

Music Review: A Star on the rise
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a truly lovely set, beautifully presented by RCA. My favorite tenor, Domingo dominates my opera collection. I also have about a dozen compilations, operatic and otherwise, and find myself returning again and again to this goldmine. Yes, he's young (27-31) and when I hear his later work I like that best, but then I come back and listen to this and it's awfully good, too! Must have both. He pours that passionately musical soul of his into these arias with an eager abandonment that, in a way, nearly equals the mature intensity that he continues to develop and deepen to this day. Here that fire is already blazing like an inferno in "O inferno!... Sento avvampar nel anima". There is stunning power and, as the liner notes put it, "temperament" in this and many others like "Musette! O gioia della mia dimora", "Torna ai felici dì" and "Non saria meglio . . . Tu sola a me". Some of these arias may be as unfamiliar to you as they were to me and that is another reason I value this set. I simply don't hear these lesser-known arias elsewhere.

These two discs bring together three of Domingo's records for RCA (plus "Pourquoi me reveiller" and the two final Leoncavallo selections); "Romantic Arias" 1968 fills disc 1, then "Domingo Sings Caruso" 1971 and "La Voce d'Oro" 1972. It is an interesting mix with everything from Mozart to Wagner to verismo and French opera but it works and they are sequenced tastefully, unlike some compilations which artlessly lump arias together by language or composer regardless of how rough the transitions might be.

This "Young Domingo" release reflects the love that must have gone into making those original records. The booklet is excellent; clear track listing with full information; a thorough note on the source recordings; the original liner notes from "Romantic Arias" titled "New Star in the Operatic Firmament" (very fun!); all aria texts in English and original language."
Of interest- "O Paradiso" (usually "Pays merveilleux . . . ิ paradis!") is indeed sung in Italian and after the usual 3 min. aria goes on for another 4 min. with "Deh, ch'io ritorni alla mia nave". Wonderfully dramatic music as Vasco rails against the prospect of death without the glory of his name being remembered. Wish this were included more often!

All these goodies considered, along with the overall quality of presentation, this album is among my most treasured by Domingo. It provides a thoroughly enjoyable opportunity to look back at the early stage of what must surely be one of the most comprehensively amazing careers in operatic history - a career that continues to expand...

For further young Domingo listening check out his debut performance as Ernani. Opening night in Milan Dec. 7, 1969 with Domingo/Kabaivanska/Ghiaurov and Votto conducting. Good as he is in studio I think there is always that extra level of intensity that he gives when on the stage. Another marvelous performance, of Massenet's Werther, was captured on December 18, 1977 (a good month to hear that opera, no?) with Fassbaender; Jesus Lopez-Cobos conducting.
